Our idiot governor and his wife are both covid positive. I just saw this. Asshole. I get that people are going to get Covid despite precautions because other people are unreliable, but the politicians who push back against common sense are just ugh.

Diordra , you will of course meet me there now, too. I hope you realize. eta omg they're doing a "picnic package." I think I need to drop my kids at my parent's house and have a boozy park picnic with my H. We can stumble home to their apartment. I would love to! Do you Sangria? Because there's is also amazing. I like anything with alcohol.

We got an email from the school district about the potential of returning with a hybrid schedule. We don't really know anything yet, but hey are going to be sending a survey out soon regarding what people would do given the choice. I think we are going to say we would send DD if given the chance.

I have dreams of getting all dressed up, going to our favorite hotel bar and sitting in a big comfy chair and having a fanceh cocktail and snacks. People need to get their shit together! Before ::waves arms around:: all of this, that night wouldn't appeal to me much. Right now it is everything I want in an evening.

Our idiot governor and his wife are both covid positive. He's a fucking idiot. I can't bring myself to feel even one iota of bad for him. I just hope he didn't give it to anyone.

I just want to put on a sexy top, and drink one too many cocktails, and eat five kinds of appetizers. Some day, right? SOME DAY?! I have purchased an embarrassingly high number of slutty outfits. For when? I don’t fucking know. For where? Who the fuck cares. When this is over, yes I’ll go to Taco Bell in my lowcut bodysuit and mini skirt and enjoy the last Mexican pizza I’ll probably ever have in my life. I don’t care.

I'll take the pimento cheese, the biscuits and gravy, a southern Benedict (that's fucking right, double up that pimento cheese), a kimchi rice bowl, and a spicy chicken biscuit for dessert. With a side of white cheddar grits. Someone get that to me ASAP thanks so much. The last time I was in the states we met friends for brunch. I ordered normal yummy brunch food in the benedict family- and then I saw the Nathan's hotdogs and I ordered two on the side. When presented with the delicious food, the stomach gets what it wants.

In a neighboring school district that is doing hybrid apparently a mom dropped her kids off at school even though it was supposed to be their virtual day and refused to come pick them up until the end of the day. She's saying they own their own business and can't afford to have them home or take the time to teach them (which seems debatable considering their multiple vacations, etc). She's a covid denier and instructs her children to defy mask requirements. I have no words.

Sigh. My cousins are posting on FB looking for places to go that specifically don't require masks.

Journal is eliminating my job in March. Figured it was coming, their revenue is down significantly with everything going on.
Eleven years. Trying to just be glad I have 6 months to figure it out, but damn.

We all have shit that we have to figure out right now to make this work. You aren't special. Deal with it like the rest of us. Bitch. (Her, not you, obviously)

She purposefully ignored calls from the school all day. And she may end up getting her way now because the school apparently is working with her to see if they can get a 504 and iep for the kids. Which, if they do need those, then there is a way to go about getting them that isn't abandoning your kids at the school when they aren't supposed to be there. She seems like a real treat. We are all struggling. The entitlement blows my mind.

Otherwise the school should tell her that her kid is now full time virtual until she's willing to follow the same rules as literally EVERYONE ELSE.

She contacted the media herself about this.
